SPECIFICATION fanningpart of Letters Patent NO. 687,643, dated Noi'ember 26, 1901. Application filed November 2; 1900. Serial No. 35,303- (Nomodeh) To all whom it-may concern.-

Be itknown that we, GEORGE HOLLIS Mac LOUGHLIN, manager-,CHARLEs AUDLEY BEL- FORD, salesman, and EDW'ARD ROBERT BREM- NER, clerk, subjects of the Queen of Great Britain, residingin the city of Ottawa, in the county of Carleton, in. the Province of Ontario, Canada, have invented new and useful Improvements in Cardboard Boxes, of which the following is a specification.

Our invention relates to improvements in cardboard boxes; and the object of the invention is to construct a box the height of the walls of which may be adapted to the quantity of the goods contained therein; and it consists, essentially, of a card board box having perforated or scored incisions formed in the walls thereof circumferentially arranged in tiers corresponding in number to the goods contained in the box and having strips of paper or other suitable material arranged inside the walls to close such perforations.

Figure 1 is a general perspective View of our box. Fig. 2 is a orosssection through Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is an enlarged detailof a portion of the box.

In the drawings like letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in each figure.

A is our box, formed of walls a, bottom a, and lid of.

B represents longitudinal perforations formed in the walls arranged endwise and separated by thin dividing portions B.

(3 represents strips of tissue-paper or other suitable material secured to the inside of the walls of the box above each row of perforations, so as to overlap same. These are provided so as to prevent any dust penetrating to the interior of the box, and thus spoiling the goods contained therein.

moving the same from the shelves; By the use-ofour box stock can be readily taken at almost a glance. In the use of the old box each one had to be removed from the shelf and the cover taken off before the quantity of goods contained therein is shown. By our box this is obviated. For theabove reasons many articles which would otherwise be put upin boxes are placed in paper wrappings. This occasions a great loss of time and is very inconvenient.

'By the use of our box goods may be arrange neatly in a'minimum amount of space and with a great economy of time.

hat we claim as our invention is- As an improved article of manufacture, a box made of card or other suitable material .having the sides thereof formed with perforated lines around the box dividing said sides into detachable sections, and labels affixed to the inside of the box over said per- Ifiorated lines" as and for the purpose speci= Signed at'the city of Ottawa this 15th day of October, 1900.-
